Fear of conceiving another child

Question

My wife delivered a child 2.5 months ago. Her period has not started yet. We had sex last night but we cant take any precautions like using condom, etc. If sperm enters her vagina by mistake, is there any chance of her falling pregnant again?

Answer

When the unseen is only known to Allah Ta`ala, then to have this type of a belief that people know the unseen is wrong.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
